hi,

.. after he (the boat) had received notification about the departure and their course. This message was based on betrayal from the port of Portuguese GOA (Mormugao). This involved the interned German freighters "Ehrenfels",
"Braunfels" and "Drachenfels".
This story (?) has been around for a long time (ending with the attack on the three ships in March, 1943 made into a movie "the Sea Wolves")
I have, however, until found nobody being able to provide proof rpt proof of the German ships sending messages to submarines (like, e.g. DEFE decoded messages)
Can you provide one ?
greetings, Urs
